A strong representation Of St. Louis
business men spoke in favor of rail-
road legislation before the senate com
mittee, last Monday. The legislators
were "A little surprised to hear a vete-
ran railroad builder like Col. ). L. H.
Hayward say:-''A fair bill, giving he
commissioners power to regulate rail-
roads and fix maximum rates would
not prevent the building of new roads,
or the extension of old ones, and would
not discourage capital. The antl-dls-
elimination, anti extortion, anti-pool-
ing long and short haul clauses would
not injure railroads and would not dis
courage railroad builders. He was III
New York last winter seeking capital
to build t he Missouri Central railroad
when the regular session OF the Mis-
souri, legislature was wrestling with
the railroad question. The talk OF leg
islation had no injurious effect on CAPT.
tai except i'll one instance, when it was
proposed to enact a law n3lnS tne
mileage basis; capital hesitated until
that idea was disposed of. Bills 293
and 62O had no terror for investors in
Missouri railroad securities. In fact the
agitation of the question and the bills
proposed by the committees last winter
had no bad effect. He was in Wall
street at the time and spoke from actual
knowledge. Capitalists are Intelligent
men and recognize that the states must
regulate railroads and that no such in
tclligent body of men as constitute the
general assembly of Missouri would do
aught to cripple railroads."
